OK,
I see pullup. |

| Crossfield: |
Roll
damper. Going uphill. Got the roll damper back. Supersonic. OK, I found
my place. A 240, pitch off. |

|
| Chase: |
A
little left of course. |
| |
|
| Crossfield: |
Left
roll again. .......... Yaw
damper off. Yaw pulse. I'm going to make these very gentle. Going up to
40,000 ft. Little bit slow. Going up to 1.8g if I can get it. Yaw. Just
about pushing over on 55. Lost my place again. Yaw pulse. Roll pulse. ..........
Leaving it there, no sense in doing it. |

Make
your turn please. |

|
| Crossfield: |
Sensitive
to roll. Going to center stick. 2 g turn with side slip. ..... Losing altitude,
I'll climb back up. Speed is a little low. OK, I've got about 20° more
to turn. I'm showing about 40% on fuel. Starting to climb. In the climb
build a yaw. See if I get on the line again. ... Yaw kick. Another one. |

Left
turn now, Scott.. |

|
| Crossfield: |
Left
slip. Still got a couple of barrels going. Lost .......... Yaw kick ....
Roll pulse ... 50,000 feet. Going subsonic. Going to jettison. Got about
1700 Ibs of source, indicating about 8% on the fuel. Prime is still on.
Can't do the roll so I'll just give you pulses. 270. Yaw pulse. There goes
my chase right across my bow. Side slip. About 12°. Roll pulse. I'm
a little fast. Pitch off. Pitch pulse. Yaw. Yaw pulse. Yaw back on. I'm
not going to try to reengage that. Go to center stick for the landing.
Alternate trim. |
